Oxo, 8-1, wins Grand National An 8-year-old English gelding, Oxo, outran and outjumped thirty-three rivals and won Britain's Grand National steeplechase. He was an 8-1 shot. And one of the four horses to survive the thirty jumps of the world's toughest horse-racing course. The purse: $38,208. Jockey: Mike Scudamore - 153 pounds. Horses before race. Spectators with binoculars throughout. Race begins. Horses racing, with cameraman mounted atop moving vehicle in the background. Much more interesting angles than generally used -- one view from inside or near a jump shows horses jumping and falling close to camera. Winner finishes. Spills, bloopers, dangerous falls.
